LAHORE: The Supreme Court on Saturday directed an anti-terrorism court of Lahore to conduct daily hearings of the Model Town case to conclude the trial of suspects in the case at the earliest.
This direction was given by a two-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar. The bench was hearing a suo motu case pertaining to the Model Town incident at the apex court’s Lahore registry.
It further directed the trial court to make Justice Ali Baqar Najafi’s report of a judicial probe into the incident part of the trial proceedings.
The judges directed the Lahore High Court (LHC) to dispose of all pending petitions with regard to the Model Town incident within two weeks.
Last Sunday, the chief justice took notice of the delay in provision of justice to the victims of the 2014 Model Town incident.
The chief justice directed the Punjab government to come up with a report, explaining the reasons behind the delay in dispensation of justice to the people affected by the incident.
Justice Nisar took notice of the matter on the request of the daughter of a woman killed in the incident, who complained that she still awaited justice despite passage of four years.
